...where the wondrous Celts play during the winter) is the big deal on the local music scene this week. Clapton is, or was at one time, as you probably know, God. It's hard to say what he is now--he's just coming off a long bout with heroin and is as a result in a getting-myself-back-together stage. But indications all suggest he's still great; his new single, "I Shot the Sheriff," is teriffic and his history is epic. Clapton is a giant figure in rock. The problem is that the concert will probably sell...

Plutonium and U-235 can be transported as compounds that do not readily lend themselves to the making of the most efficient weapons, but the techniques for purification are, says Taylor, in some respects no more difficult than refining heroin in an illicit laboratory...
...time on one-alarm fire assignments before digging into his own niche as the station's "slum-dope reporter." He made his name with a three-part report on the Drug Crisis in East Harlem, which gave names and faces to drug-abuse statistics with portraits of three heroin addicts. In 1972 he sneaked a camera crew into the Willowbrook State School for the mentally retarded and produced a searing expose of the squalor in which retarded children were left unclothed and unattended. With no attempt at "objectivity," Rivera laid the blame for Willowbrook directly on the administration...
